Other links: https://github.com/lnmangione https://github.com/lnmangione https://x.com/pepmangione https://x.com/pepmangione - more of a reposter than a commenter, for example * reposts link on mental health titled "Seasonality of brain function: role in psychiatric disorders" * view on what's wrong with society: "I believe this book will go down in history as the most important philosophical text of the early 21st century." [Tim Urban's "What's Our Problem?"] * [ironically] on intelligence, liking the quote "Being smart makes you more prone to confirmation bias" * likes John Haidt's new book "The Anxious Generation" etc

      Interesting. It was private for me too. But I clicked to read the full list of the 474 4-star reviews and scrolled and found it. From there I found a direct link to his review which still works (as of a few hours after his name leaked) at: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4065667863 https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4065667863 He justifies Ted Kaczynski saying: "He was a violent individual - rightfully imprisoned - who maimed innocent people. While these actions tend to be characterized as those of a crazy luddite, however, they are more accurately seen as those of an extreme political revolutionary." The quote about "Violence never solved anything..." it turns out are not his words, they are part of him quoting someone else in his review; but I wasn't able to find the source of the long message he quoted; just news articles from the last few hours mentioning the quote. EDIT: nevermind, found the origin of the quote on reddit r/climate: https://www.reddit.com/r/climate/comments/10j1le5/comment/j5i4x9z/?context=3&share_id=6ahKu5zNIyM7vDFlVuUuo&utm_content=1&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1 https://www.reddit.com/r/climate/comments/10j1le5/comment/j5... Another notable GoodReads comment (from Luigi) regarding another book: "I love Steve-O. His life is full of wild stories, and his addictive personality is one I relate to. "

TBH, this feels like some kind of psychotic break. He just kind of stops posting out of nowhere. On twitter there are some attempts from others to reach him that seem concerned for his wellbeing: https://x.com/DanielleFong/status/1866211089660477490 https://x.com/DanielleFong/status/1866211089660477490

  Totally agree. I wouldn't be surprised if he went on an adderall bender that he never recovered from. Adderall and rabbit hole topics without a resolution (societal change) are not a good mix.

  These are all strange things to tweet publicly. I would expect all of these to be DMs. Unless he had somehow closed his DMs / forced their hand.

  Some say he had a medical issue and saw first hand the reality of being sick and not an elite in America (even though, by all accounts he probably had good insurance and was quite wealthy in his own right).

  26? I was thinking schizophrenia as soon as I heard the age. The weirdness of the situation, unclear motive, and how it seems very out of character all scream onset of some kind of mental illness yes.

So he meticulously planned the rest of the murder, disappeared for almost a year before now, and we are to believe that everything he did in the last year was NOT also staged? Come on.
